On October 12, suspects Ahjanae Woods and Terry Nichols were arrested following a burglary at the Christian Dior store in San Francisco's Union Square. According to a statement released by the district attorney's office, this act was part of an ongoing series of high-end retail thefts in the city. Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Bloomingdales, Jin's Eyewear, Maxford's Jewelry, and Yves Saint Laurent have also been victims of similar crimes, a Hoodline article explains.

As revealed in the San Francisco District Attorney's statement, the suspects were unsuccessful at breaking into Fendi but managed to gain entry into Christian Dior's store on the morning of October 12, fleeing with various goods.

Charges, including grand theft and conspiracy, have been levied against Nichols and Woods, and they have both pled not guilty. The case is scheduled for a hearing on October 27.
